Agloves Allow For Touchscreen Use On Cold Days
Zothecula writes "With capacitive the technology of choice on the majority of touchscreen devices hitting the market, people have been coming up with all kinds of interesting ways to interact with their devices when the winter chill sets in and gloves become a necessity. Many South Koreans apparently turned to using sausages as a stylus but if you'd prefer not to be hassled by dogs as you type a text there are less meat product-based solutions, such as the North Face Etip gloves. Now there's another glove-based solution in the form of Agloves, which provide even greater touchscreen friendly surface area for your hands."
Alternatively, just don't wear gloves. Your body (hopefully) has a lower minimum operational temperature than your touchscreen device.
Just like the swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, should not the ipad?
When snowblowing, I change selections and volume on my iPod Touch with my nose.
If Slashdot were chemistry it would look like this:Cadaverine
we dip down as low as -42 degrees. (that's in Celsius, but it's the same temperature as fahrenheit.)
Actually that was Fahrenheit, you would write Celsius as -42 degrees. It's an easy mistake to make.
Sometimes, life itself is sarcasm...
Just in case someone from Digg is reading this... he meant cutting the tips of the glove fingers, not your own human fingers.
Or, you could just grow a pair of testicles and expose your delicate flesh. Pussies.
